Fall Foliage

Bold splashes of red, gold and orange await you on your fall foliage river cruise. These cruises pay homage to the beauty of autumn while traversing the upper Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee and Hudson Rivers. On board, take in a lecture from guest naturalists or cozy up with pumpkin pie and spiced cider as you enjoy views of stunning fall landscapes passing by. But you aren't limited to admiring these rich hues from afar. Stops in port cities such as St. Louis and St. Paul give you the opportunity to play in the leaves between interesting shore excursions.

Accommodations, guided sightseeing and most meals are included in the price of your cruise. Plus, the travel details are handled for you, so you're free to enjoy a relaxing fall getaway.
